1822 Cornelia Street, Queens, NY 11385
The 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 1822 Cornelia Street in Ridgewood, owned by Anand Melwani, has experienced several notable issues over recent years, with particular concerns about rodent activity and maintenance compliance. Most critically, there is currently an active Department of Buildings violation from June 2023 regarding the failure to file the 2018 external low-pressure inspection, one of the building's system safety requirements.
The building has shown persistent rodent problems, with multiple inspections in 2023-2024 (September 2024, June 2023, and August 2024) all indicating rat activity, though the most recent November 2024 compliance inspection resulted in a failed rating for other reasons. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues. A heating complaint from March 2020 was investigated and found to have no violations.
However, a more recent housing maintenance violation was noted in March 2020 regarding fire safety doors at apartment 1L, while a 311 service request related to smoking violations was logged in 2021 and closed in 2024. On the pest management front, the building has maintained a relatively good record since experiencing one bedbug infestation in 2019-2020, with subsequent annual reports (through 2024) showing zero infested or re-infested units. The building's inspection history suggests that while some systems and conditions have improved, the recurring rodent issues and the outstanding DOB violation represent the most significant ongoing concerns as of 2025.
